Real Madrid is said to have prepared a “Plan B” transfer option in case they are unable to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappe next summer. This comes after the club issued a statement refuting claims of ongoing negotiations for the Paris Saint-Germain star, whose contract is set to expire.

Real Madrid is reportedly considering a Plan B option in case they fail to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappe. The 24-year-old French World Cup winner has been a long-standing target for the club, and although he signed a lucrative extension with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2022, his contract will expire next summer. Mbappe has expressed his readiness to leave PSG as a free agent. While reports suggest that Real Madrid is engaged in advanced talks to sign Mbappe in 2024, the club released a statement denying any negotiations. The statement emphasized that the media speculation regarding Mbappe’s alleged negotiations with Real Madrid is completely false. Liverpool is among the clubs rumored to be interested in signing Mbappe next summer.

Real Madrid has shown keen interest in Bayern Munich playmaker Jamal Musiala. According to Sport Bild, Real Madrid is ensuring they have a backup attacking target in case they fail to secure their primary target. Carlo Ancelotti, the Real Madrid manager, holds Musiala in high regard. The 20-year-old, who previously played in Chelsea’s academy, is currently under contract with Bayern Munich until 2026. However, he has declined to sign a new contract thus far. Musiala is currently earning £7 million per year but reportedly wants three times that amount to stay at the Allianz Arena. Manchester City has also been linked with the talented playmaker, who will assess his future options at the end of the season. Bayern Munich is expected to demand a substantial transfer fee for the 21-year-old player next summer.
